Kits are the trick right now. Please stop in and check out all the new kits and inventory. You'll love these two new scarves, one green and one pink. It is the perfect way to try a new project, you get everything in one complete package. What a great gift idea.

Kim is out with Frank and reports via IPOD:
Hi:

Here's just a few shots from my trip to Mardi Gras in New Orleans! I've learned two new words: "Who Dat?" That's what they're saying, I have no idea what it means, but it has something to do with saints and football. I got lot's of beads, even some from a pirate. I'll bring some home to you Anna.

Love Frank

She's Got it Now . . . . .

Manos was inspired to take a class and learn to knit. She finishes her first class and her first scarf. (See pic! Great scarf!) We'd of thought she would tackle another scarf but NNNNNOOOOO!




Manos decides she should be doing her "first garment" (like your first mountain, first investment, first love, first race, wait?!), not a first garment, doesn't she know . . . . . we have a ten scarf, 2 vest, 3 shawl pre-first garment requirement . . . . .


Nope, She's got it Now! . . . . . she have the nerves of steel and have the inspirational instructor who can bring her to "garment" . . .. who'd of thought, she was beginning and eager and had the will to win . . . . . her second project is a Garment.

Wow, if you know someone who needs this step, join Dianna at her "Beginner's 1st Top Down" class on Sat the 9th and Sat. the 30th. Yep, it is in fact that inspirational. We are waiting to see this one on Jan. "Show It Off". (a collection of all our FO's, fresh off the needles, that we want to share).

My Girlfriend's China

we wander into another room . . . . . and there is all my girlfriend's China . . .




and ya know, her China is very pretty, mine doesn't work like that . . . . .
